Fix a finite horizon and use the completed natural Brownian filtration. Martingale representation theorem states that every can be written
where is predictable and is unique up to equality for almost every .
The Martingale representation theorem states that every square-integrable martingale in this filtration has a continuous version of the form
with the same integrability and uniqueness condition. The completed natural filtration has only null-set randomness at time zero, so is almost surely constant. The first statement gives the second by representing and taking conditional expectations; the second gives the first by taking .
There is also the local version: every local martingale in the Brownian filtration has a continuous version representable by a predictable, locally square-integrable integrand. The filtration restriction matters; an enlarged filtration with independent additional martingales need not have representation using alone.
